  1. Richards doesn't need the sticky stuff once he realized he would need to throw his riding fastball
  2. Having wasted yesterday's win by O's over NYY, really need to take advantage of their loss to Jays .
  3. A phenomenal f***up with a me first attitude, just to start the conversation, lol
  4. Hah, the Red Sox do sign Jose Iglesias so one of the AAAA'ers can go home. Preferably Motter or Lopez
  5. Still 15 outs to get in one of the longest games of the year.
  6. Verdugo to me is a very average player, better than some but not a guy to pick up the team. Plus I believe he is lacking smarts
  7. Sale forced to pitch another 20+, after 2 outs because of the defense. makes it a game again.
  8. Yankees down to the Jays in top 6, 2-0
  9. Looks like Yaarbrough was what was needed to break the RISP drought. Great inning EARLY. Now to get another 21 outs without a blowup from the BP after Sale sits. Houck must be wondering what he needs to do to get Sale's support.
  10. Laz Diaz is the worst outcome for a HP umpire replacement
  11. Fall behind early, the new recipe for Sox success.
  12. Could you call it a Yarb Sale
  13. I think this loss is one of the hardest to accept because it breaks the momentum of winning while the primary opponents lose, and we continue with the same problems seen all year. Falling behind quickly, become dependent on a perfect bullpen, leave RISP innings 1-5 before making a move. Poor defense, not just errors but misplays or lack of athleticism to make plays currently just out of reach. Also playing guys like Arauz and Motter while Jose Iglesias became available.
  14. Keep in mind it is Labor Day tomorrow and the Red Sox still have not won enough games to insure a .500 season . Maybe we get that done before the play-in WC game
  15. To continue the prediction of a 20W-20L final 40 games of 2021 , after 19 of those games including the 9th inning Cleveland blowout of Valdez , the record is 10-9 going into the 3 game TBR series. I'll stick with my 20-20 call. It is hitting as much as pitching.
  16. If you are forced to play bullpen roulette , day after day, because your starters can't get 6 innings or you are forced to pitch AAA developmental guys then once in while there will be the bullet in the chamber and rip your head open.
  17. Maybe Devers would have had that play , if he had stayed in after hitting for Lopez ?
  18. Here's the essence of the problem, go down 6-0 to an inferior team , wait until the 5th inning to wake up, leave several men in RISP land , require your relievers to be perfect for 4-5 innings. A tough way to play the game. Especially with a golden opportunity to get right up the Yankees tailpipe .. Schawarber was the actual guy who needed the day off today. Looked tired.
  19. Motter is a professional f*** up masquerading as a ballplayer
  20. Do you think when Cora PH'ed Devers for Lopez that Rafi might have stayed in the game so he could get 1 or 2 more shots in a game that within reach when Devers did hit ? I understand the day off with 3 game series vs TBR coming up, but you need to win the only one you are currently playing, especially with the Covid potential circulating.
  21. Crawford, Schreiber and Gonsalves. 3 key parts of the Sox #2WC run . Very diverse and inclusive participation by WooSox
  22. Nice little 3 run rally, 2nd/3rd no outs and the next 3 guys fail to get it done.
  23. Jack Lopez could have done that
  24. Dalbec got the mediulm fly but Plawecki, not wanting Vaz's running stats held. So no Raffy gets to pick them up in a PH appearance
  25. Shaw comes up about a foot short of changing Plesac's pants for a clean pair
